BATH COOKIES

Bath Cookies

2 cups finely ground sea salt
1/2 cup baking soda
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons light oil
1 teaspoon vitamin E oil (squeezed from capsules)
2 eggs
5 or 6 drops essential oil of your choice

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix together all ingredients. Take a teaspoon of the dough and roll it gently into a 1-inch diameter ball. Continue doing this with all the dough and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. You can decorate the cookies with clove buds, anise seeds or dried citrus peel if you wish. Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes, until they are lightly browned (do not overbake ). Allow the cookies to cool completely. Store in a decorative tin marked Bath Cookies.

Yields 24 cookies - enough for 12 baths.
